Region: Africa and Latin America

The histories of Africa and Latin America are closely intertwined, not least because of the terrible institution of slavery. So while you could easily construct a path in either of these areas, alone, you might find it particularly fascinating to chart the ways in which Africa and Latin American cultures have impacted each other. The courses suggested here will do just that in a World context, allowing you to easily fulfill major requirements in what we hope will be an intellectually satisfying way.
